Role Summary

Splunk is looking for a committed Senior Product Manager to build and scale SPL2, the next generation of Splunk’s Search Processing Language (SPL). This Product Manager will own SPL2’s development and strategy for Splunk’s streaming analytics products.

You will work hand-in-hand with cross-functional execution teams to prioritize high-value use cases and drive adoption. Your proficiency in distilling technical concepts and communicating them to a wide range of technical and non-technical audiences will accelerate SPL2 go-to-market. Since your solutions will integrate with the entire Splunk portfolio, you will build a comprehensive knowledge of customer challenges and drive partner teams to align on and deliver a unified strategy!

A Product Manager in this role will thrive if they are tenacious in pursuing the right solution for customers, and curious about solving complex technical problems. This area will be a key value driver as the Splunk portfolio expands, and will directly empower customers to manage platform complexity while crafting innovative solutions of their own.

• Synthesize varied internal and external customer feedback across different products and domains to build common solutions that can serve more than one use case

• Engage with customers and field teams to understand needs, and develop product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria for proposed improvements

• Collaborate with engineers and architects to brainstorm solutions and define clear success criteria

• Partner with engineering teams across Splunk to deliver capabilities based on a common technical strategy

• Proven track record of leading a platform area, and managing priorities while serving multiple internal clients and external customers

• Experience interacting with software administrators, cloud operations teams, and technical architects to synthesize clear requirements

• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with an ability to convey product strategy as well as technical details succinctly and clearly

• Familiarity in building features for stream processing solutions

• Experience leading highly technical go-to-market motions

• Passion for solving challenging technical problems and building enterprise products with intuitive user experience
